Also, Christmas is coming and considering the current financial woes it's good thing we did our shopping early. More on that soon though.

Q: Guess What?

A: We got to see the new Batman movie (The Dark Knight) before you did. And yes it's all you can hope and imagine. Tell 'em you heard it from the horses mouth first.

(Sorry for the randomness, just wanted to brag a bit).

Also this is still happening...



Hope to see you there

Fresh out the studio we'll be in Atlanta celebrating (and most likely playing some new stuff). Please come join us.



Also keep checking back we've still got some pics from the studio that never got posted, that will be up soon. What can I say.. we got lazy.

ladies and gentlemen, i am pleased to announce that record number 2 is aaalmost finished! just needs to be mixed and that will be that. we wrapped up all the tracking a couple of weeks ago and spent the remainder of our time in california rubbing elbows with LA's elite. and more fishing. and ping pong.

we checked in with our friends the shys who were playing with hot hot heat at the Roxy. we caught up with our friends and empty bun tourmates eastern conference champions for a couple drinks and talked about old times and ironically ate buns with hot dogs IN them! the topper was the back porch jam we had at Butch's place on the last day of tracking. such an amazing trip - we are very grateful.

oh yeah. here's the list of songs we recorded:

amateur hour
fingernails for breakfast
god bless your heart
completely replaceable
pour it out
hold on to me tight
heartbreaker
people like you
me + the thief
number 1
holiday
something familiar

well friends.. we are back at the chateau and are heading into our last week of recording. we are also very pleased with how this record is shaping up. Extremadamente contento!. Butch has been a great producer / friend to us while we've been out here and i can't say enough about about how much respect i have for the guy. amazing.

forgot to mention in the previous entries about kenny and my 2nd fishing escapade. Lake Castaic.. not as far away, and equal in beauty. no fines or fees this time. and though we still didn't bring home the big one, i DID get a bite and kenny got some serious knowledge dropped on him by a knowitall kid who kept trying to tell everyone what to do.

thanks for keeping up with us... while it's still a little early for me to start talking about a release date, i should suspect it won't be too long before we start seeing those tour dates popping up. so get ready.



knowitall kid

It's been quite a week. Most of the vocal and guitar work is now done and we'll be sweetening things up next week with miscellaneous fuzz and twitter. Not to mention the good vibes the surroundings to which we've grown accustom have provided. That's not to say in anyway that we've gotten soft but maybe, just maybe, that rack tom sound on "Holiday?" wouldn't have sounded so sweet.

Ok. Ok. Enough blubbering. Big thanks to everyone in Malibuland for their help and hospitality. We'll come back anytime.
